So many more domestic brews. Flying Dog and Heavy Seas are okay for what they are.

SN, Troegs, and New Belgium are in my dog house right now. Not liking them too much currently.

Imported, currently, I'd suggest Stella for an easy drinking beer. If you want something off the beaten path, get Chimay. It's a little steep in price but worth it. Can't go wrong with anything really, except for Smithwick's - stuff is bad. Skullcrusher Ale is awesome if you can somehow find it.

Breckenridge Brewery Avalanche and Vanilla Porter. Got a small Lola store to carry it but can get it at Wegmans too.
Whenever the inlaws come out I make them bring me a few cases of Tommy Knocker Maple nut. That's the best beer ever!
Also like the Samuel Adams mix packs. Saranac is OK but always seems to be skunky.

Yuengling when I'm in the states, Carlsberg when I'm in the UK, and Bud light when money's tight! (ok not really but I liked the rhyme)

About 10 years ago and while I was at work, someone shoved a Consumers Reports magazine under my shop door. It was the beer testing issue, and Busch Lite was picked in the blind test over all other lite beers. And for me--a 30 pack is priced just right.

In the US I never touch the stuff. When I travel Europe or the UK, it's all I drink. I was told that US beers are pasteurized and that's why I don't like them. Other countries are more civilized and don't boil their beer before it's consumed. Leaving for London on the 4th, so January will see me drinking beers in pubs with my son.

Im a big fan, but for some reason it is impossible to find in the Boston area.

If you go to the brewery you can get a 2 litre growler filled your like 10 bucks depending on which beer you get:)

Anything by Middle Ages Brewery. It's all brewed right here in town and I usually go to the brewery itself and get my growler filled. 6 packs and 24oz bottles are also sold in stores around so it's easily accessible. My favs of this brewery are Swallow Wit, Syracuse Pale Ale, Wizards Winter, Duke, Dragonslayer, Wailing Wench, Old Marcus, Black Heart Stout, Grail Ale, Highlander, Kilt Tilter. Just about everything they brew except their Pale Ales as I was never a big fan of them in general regardless or the brewer.

As for more large scale brews I tend to go for Yuengling/Black and Tan, Sam Adams Octoberfest/Winter Lager, Blue Moon, Shock Top, George Killians.

If I'm on a tight beer budget I will go for Pabst, Miller High Life, Busch or Genesee.

Of course I'm probably forgetting some, but those were the first to come to mind.
